Can you answer

-162= 8 - 5(4p + 2)

p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

-162 = 8 - 5 (4p + 2)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

-162 = 8 - 20p - 10

Combine like terms

-162 = (8 - 10) - 20p

-162 = -2 - 20p

Add 2 on both sides

-162 + 2 = -2 - 20p + 2

-160 = -20p

Divide -20 on both sides

-160 / -20 = -20p / -20

Hope this helps!! :)

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
